While Jaden and Willow Smith’s careers have prospered on our TV and Cinema screens respectively in the last couple of years, Will Smith has enjoyed a noticeable absence off it; indeed, the last time we saw him was in 2007’s Hancock. In 2013, he’s teaming up with M. Night Shyamalan and his son Jaden for the futuristic After Earth. Before that though, he’s back saving the world – for what seems like the umpteenth time – as he dons the shades, suit and tie for the third film in the Men in Black franchise. Check out the new trailer and synopsis after the jump.

Here’s a fun fact for you: The Lord of the Rings trilogy is the highest grossing motion picture trilogy worldwide of all time at $2.91 billion. That is not a typo. 9 years on from The Return of the King – this bagged 11 Oscars, another record – director Peter Jackson returns to Middle Earth. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey takes place 60 years before The Fellowship of the Ring, and will follow the journey of Bilbo Baggins in his quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Many characters from the celebrated trilogy will be making a return, most notably Ian McKellen as the wise wizard Gandalf the Grey, and Cate Blanchett as Galandriel. New additions to the cast include Sherlock Holmes alumni Benedict Cumberbatch as the voice of Smaug, and Martin Freeman as the titular character, Bilbo Baggins. Take a look at the new trailer below.

Even though the film is still a good 6 months away from release, anticipation for Christopher Nolan’s conclusion to his Batman trilogy, entitled The Dark Knight Rises, is already at a fever pitch. The marketing machine has been working hard recently; A couple of weeks ago we had an awesome theatrical poster released (see above), and the first six minutes have been shown in US IMAX theatres. Incidentally, I will finally be watching that prologue later this week when it hits the UK, so make sure you head to Yin & Yang for my thoughts. There have also been leaked bootleg copies of a new trailer that have made the rounds on the internet this past week. Today Warner Bros. officially released that trailer online, and you can watch it in all its HD glory below.

2007’s Ghost Rider made over $228 million worldwide, but many critics and fans alike disliked the movie. Although the special effects were fantastic for the most part, the poor acting and script really hurt the film. The sequel, which sees Nicolas Cage reprise his role as the cursed anti-hero, has been steadily gaining buzz over the past few months. The first trailer was unveiled back in August, and a new trailer has just surfaced online today. Check it out after the jump.
